It was the other way round when they recovered from a two-goal deficit to beat Russia 3-2, all the scoring in the first half with Kelly Smith's winner coming from the centre circle. A 1-1 draw against Sweden took England through from Group C as one of the two best third-placed teams. • England and Finland last met in two friendlies in Larnaca, Cyprus in February. The first game was a 2-2 draw, Kelly Smith's penalty and Lianne Sanderson's goal putting England ahead before Leena Puranen and Anne Mäkinen levelled later in the first half on what was Laura Österberg-Kalmari's comeback to the team after two years away. • Two days later England won 4-1. Faye White, Emily Westwood and Smith (penalty) all scored before the break, while Rachel Yankey made it four in the second half before Annica Sjölund's consolation. • The previous time they met was at UEFA WOMEN'S EURO 2005™, the opening game for hosts England against finals debutants Finland in front of 29,092 people at the City of Manchester Stadium, still a competition record. • An own goal by Sanna Valkonen and Amanda Barr's header gave England a 2-0 lead at the break. Anna-Kaisa Rantanen and Österberg-Kalmari's 89th-minute strike drew Finland level but it was England who won it thanks to Karen Carney's dramatic late winner. However, it was Finland who emerged from Group A in second place to reach the semi-finals. • Finland have never beaten England in senior men's or women's internationals. The women's side has lost five times to England with four draws, Finland scoring nine goals and England 17. • They have met twice in Finland; a 0-0 draw in Tampere on 29 September 1990 in FIFA Women's World Cup qualifying and a 2-1 England win in Kirkkonummi on 25 October 1987 in a 1989 European qualifier. The following September they drew 1-1 in Millwall, London. • The winners of this game face France or the Netherlands in the semi-finals on Sunday at the Tampere Stadium. Team facts FINLAND Finnish women's football dates back to before the First World War and their first championship was in 1971, two years before their national team made their bow. However, for a long period they were not able to match the success of neighbours Norway and Sweden. They did pick up the occasional scalp, such as West Germany in 1995, Norway three years later and Denmark in 2000, but signs of a real improvement came when HJK Helsinki reached the inaugural 2001/02 UEFA Women's Cup semi-finals, losing to Umeå IK, who were to sign Laura Kalmari, Sanna Valkonen and Jessica Julin. They were at the core of the squad that beat Russia in a play-off to qualify for the 2005 UEFA European Women's Championship and despite an opening 3-2 loss to hosts England in front of 29,092 spectators, Finland held Sweden 0-0 and beat Denmark 2-1 to reach the semi-finals, losing to Germany. They missed out on the 2007 FIFA Women's World Cup narrowly behind Denmark but already were assured a 2009 European berth as hosts.

There were hints of a revival in 1995 when England reached the UEFA European Women's Championship semi-finals and the last eight of the FIFA Women's World Cup but did not qualify for the continental event two years later. Powell was then appointed the first full-time manager and implemented a system that has brought through a host of talented young players. They qualified in 2001 and were hosts four years later, attracting big crowds but missing the semi-finals. But that same set of players made the World Cup quarter-finals in 2007 and topped their group this time around. There was also a boost in July when England won their first UEFA European Women's Under-19 Championship.

More surprisingly, no athletes were listed among the 300 or so entries, either in a generalist or specific category: perhaps, because of the significance of amateurism as a prevailing ethos in sport until the 1960s.
